It increases property value as well as giving the homeowner years of pleasure with a colorful, inviting landscape that reflects your style, suites your needs and makes a lasting impression. The best way to accomplish this is to work with an experienced horticulturist, so that you can install the right plants in the right place the first time, avoiding costly mistakes, mistakes that would eventuall
y cost more in the long run to remove and replace, i.e., large trees planted too close to a structure or hardscape (sidewalk, block wall, driveway, planter, pool), lifting, cracking, or otherwise causing damage. Shrubs too large for their space will have to be excessively pruned, causing stress to the plant. In order to preserve the health of your landscape and protect your investment, there are pruning techniques that will rejuvenate flowers, trees, and shrubs and preserve their natural beauty. When selling your home, Realtors know that a healthy, well-kept landscape can be one of the key elements leading to a quicker sale as opposed to a home that is not aesthetically pleasing. MAINTAINING YOUR LANDSCAPE INVESTMENT – CORRECTIVE PRUNING
Looking around your neighborhood, you may notice most of the landscapes look very similar. Basically an overabundance of geometrical shapes, predominantly little green squares, balls and cones. Plants don’t naturally grow this way and look much better if allowed to grow as nature intended them, with a more open structure. Done right, pruning of shrubs need only be done once or twice a year, and trees no more than once a year and most less than that. Unfortunately, today, most gardeners are of the “mow and blow” variety and don’t have the know how or even the desire to prune, they just shear. We’re don’t mow blow and go, we prune, tune, and bloom!!!!!
